hi Ruslan, Btw, what are the specs you use as reference about URL encoding and FCGI environment variable encoding, to consider this behavior as correct? As far as I remember it is the role of the application to do this conversion, not the web server itself. I wonder if it is actually a good idea to do it in IIS directly. Cheers, 2010/1/9 Ruslan Yakushev <[email protected]>: > Thanks Stas and Pierre for your comments! Based on this feedback we are planning to make this change only for REQUEST_URI and for PATH_INFO and make it configurable so that if it breaks anything then users can switch back to existing behavior. > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Stanislav Malyshev [mailto:[email protected]] >> Sent: Friday, January 08, 2010 4:04 PM >> To: Ruslan Yakushev >> Cc: 'Pierre Joye'; '[email protected]' >> Subject: Re: [INTERNALS-WIN] Question about using UTF-8 encoding for >> server variables used by PHP >> >> Hi! >> >> > If url contains non-ascii characters, e.g. >> > http://mysite.com/2009/10/русские-символ, then this URL results in >> > 404 in WordPress.
